Documentation

Toggle ERC match mode.

With a prefix argument ARG, enable match if ARG is positive, and disable it otherwise. If called from Lisp, enable the mode if ARG is omitted or nil. This mode checks whether messages match certain patterns. If so, they are hidden or highlighted. This is controlled via the variables erc-pals, erc-fools, erc-keywords, erc-dangerous-hosts, and erc-current-nick-highlight-type. For all these highlighting types, you can decide whether the entire message or only the sending nick is highlighted.
